We took a call from a customer a few days ago. His 00650-150 puller wasn’t broken, but neither was it gripping like it used to. As it turns out, Gary Fors and Designed Groundwater Services were applying our Sealed Duct Puller in a manner we’d never considered before! I’ll let Gary explain:
“Yes, we use your pullers often and rely on them as a way to get the decommissioning of our dewatering wellpoints completed properly.
 

“In 2008, Washington State changed the law on “water well” decommissioning. Previously it was fine to just pour bentonite or hole plug down the wells. Then the law changed and we had to find a way to pull every wellpoint out of the ground from depths of up to 25 feet.
“This proved almost impossible with traditional methods like chokers or nylon straps because they either shattered the plastic or slipped off. So, we went to Ditch Witch NW and bought our first 1.5 inch puller and it worked great for consistent reliable pulling of our dewatering wellpoints.
“Ever since then we have pulled out thousands of wellpoints consistently and quickly. We are very happy with this product and will continue using it as a core tool of the decommissioning portion of our business.”
Thank You,
